Secrets of the Solomons

16. Detective William:

*3rd July,2023*

Fiona's trial is going to be held after 3 days. There are two possibilities: either she will get a life sentence in prison with no probation, or she'll be in prison for at least 5 years.

But even then, she might have to report to the police station every week about her actions and whereabouts. This reporting requirement is typically imposed on individuals who have been convicted of serious offenses and are deemed a potential risk to society. It serves as a way for law enforcement to closely monitor their activities and ensure compliance with the terms of their sentence. Additionally, such reporting obligations can significantly impact an individual's freedom and daily life, as they must regularly provide detailed information about their actions and whereabouts to the authorities.

Looking at the severity of the crime, it is more obvious that she will get a life sentence in prison. Not that she probably even cares. The weight of her actions is highlighted by the fact that she may also be subjected to electronic monitoring as part of her sentence. This form of surveillance involves wearing a tracking device that allows law enforcement to monitor her movements at all times. These strict measures are put in place to ensure public safety and prevent any potential harm she may pose to society. However, her nonchalant attitude suggests a lack of remorse or concern for the consequences of her actions, making her seem unfazed by the potential life sentence awaiting her.
According to the law, I am required to interview her for three days in a row. They want to be certain that they have all of the necessary evidence before putting her on trial.
I am certain no new evidence will arise during these three days. Instead of asking her the same questions again and again, I will focus on finding out her true plan. Or true wish.

Fiona is not going to let her life go to waste like that. She must have planned something. Someone like her, sitting quietly and comfortably, complying while embracing her conviction? What a bunch of nonsense!
She must have something up her sleeve. And I refuse to let those who wronged her get away with it. I will give her my full support and ensure her true freedom. That's the least I could do for her.
She is entitled to justice, and I will fight for it. If necessary, I will face harsh consequences, but despite what I discovered, I am not backing down. This girl's family must be crushed. At any expense. I am willing to pay the entire cost if she is given the freedom that she rightfully deserves.
As I make my way to the interrogation room, I notice her lawyer is once again present. I don't understand why she would need to hire a lawyer even though she is going to plead guilty. I wonder if there is more to this case than meets the eye. Perhaps her lawyer knows something that I don't. Regardless, I am determined to support her in any way I can and ensure that justice is served.
I remind myself that everyone is entitled to legal representation, regardless of their plea. Perhaps her lawyer is there to ensure her rights are protected throughout the legal process. Regardless of her decision to plead guilty, she must have someone advocating for her best interests and ensuring a fair trial.
As I sit down, I am once again overwhelmed by her dark blue, gem-like eyes. It's as if she had the ability to terrify others without even raising a finger. And, to be brutally honest, it's rather chilling. I can't help but wonder what lies behind those piercing eyes. Is she truly remorseful for her actions? Or is she hiding something—a secret that could unravel the entire case? Her intense gaze draws me in, making it difficult for me to focus on the task at hand. I must stay professional and remember that my role is to provide a fair and unbiased judgment, no matter how captivating her presence may be.
It should be important to tell her that I did not check all the evidence and got frightened after one video and kept it in the locker, so I did that.
"I predicted you would do exactly that.' She must have sensed my hesitation, as a knowing smile plays at the corners of her lips. She is well aware of the power she holds over those around her, leaving me to wonder just how deep her involvement in this case truly goes.
